At 5.5m, Godin is a pretty standard price for a defender - yet his performances for both Atletico Madrid and Uruguay make him a popular choice. Nineteen per cent of players have picked the 32-year-old, making him the 10th most popular player in the game.

Uruguay face Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Russia in the group stage, so look a good bet to qualify for the knockout rounds, and probably will not concede many in the process, meaning Godin should pick up quite a few points along the way.

The Belgian winger is a fairly cheap price for midfielders, and has been picked by 19 per cent of the game's users. Belgium have games against Panama, Tunisia and England - they have a talented squad and, with Romelu Lukaku up front, Carrasco should pick up quite a few assists, meaning he is good value for money.

Manuel Neuer - 6m

Every good fantasy team needs a good goalkeeper and Neuer is one of the best in the world. The German claimed the golden glove award in 2014, being crowned the best goalkeeper of the tournament.

At 6m, he is the joint-second most expensive keeper on the game along with five others - with just David De Gea worth more. He is also returning from injury, but he is set to get the nod ahead of Marc-Andre ter Stegen for Germany. He has been picked by 21 per cent of users.

Isco - 8.5m

At 8.5m, Isco is not a cheap central midfielder. Yet he is also not as expensive as the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, so could prove a decent option. He has been selected by 23 per cent of users.

Whilst Spain have a difficult first game against Portugal, they then face Iran and Morocco, so should comfortably qualify from their group whilst scoring a lot of goals in the process. Isco should pick up some assists, and could also find the net.

The Frenchman is one of the most expensive forwards in the game but France have a strong side and should go deep into the tournament. He has been in superb form recently and should prove to be a good investment - he has a strong chance of picking up the golden boot, so he should be bought early and could be a strong choice as captain.

Twenty six per cent of users have chosen to invest in him.

Joshua Kimmich - 6.5m

The German right-back is one of the most expensive defenders in the game. Yet Germany do not concede many goals and look set to mount a strong defence of their title.

With 27 per cent of users picking him, he is certainly proving popular.

Philippe Coutinho - 9m

At 9m, the Brazilian is expensive, but, crucially, he is also listed as a midfielder. He is an attacking talent and should find the net a few times in the tournament, which should boost his points total. He has been picked by 29 per cent of users.

Neymar - 12m

Along with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar is the joint most expensive player in the game, but it is easy to see why. He has been in superb form in Brazil's warm-up matches and, with group games against Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia, he should be able to find the net in the group stages.

He has been selected by 30 per cent of users.

Lionel Messi - 12m

It is easy to see why 31 per cent of users have selected the legendary Argentinian - but questions remain over how far Argentina will get in the tournament. Messi seems key to their hopes and, if he performs, they should do well.

An incredible 43 per cent of users have selected the Brazilian defender in their squad. It seems a little unusual for a defender to be the most popular pick in a fantasy football tournament but Marcelo is no ordinary defender. He has attacking talent, and Brazil will not concede many goals in their group - he seems the perfect pick.
